Brief Summary
Vitamin D insufficiency, defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (OH) D level less than 30 ng/ml, is highly prevalent not only in the general population but also in chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. Many guidelines including the National Kidney Foundation-Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-KDOQI) have consistently recommended vitamin D supplementation in patients with pre-dialysis CKD with vitamin D insufficiency with ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol to achieve 25(OH)D level of more than 30 ng/ml using serum levels-based titration regimen. However, this protocol has not been studied in end stage kidney disease patients treated with maintenance dialysis.

Vitamin D supplementation using titration regimen
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients will receive ergocalciferol orally depending on serum 25(OH)D level as described * serum 25(OH)D \< 5 ng/ml --\> receive ergocalciferol 50,000 IU/week for 3 months followed by 50,000 IU monthly for 3 months * serum 25(OH)D 5-15 ng/ml--\> receive ergocalciferol 50,000 IU/week for 1 month followed by 50,000 IU monthly for 5 months * serum 25(OH)D 16-30 ng/ml--\> receive ergocalciferol 50,000 IU monthly for 6 months
Vitamin D supplementation using fixed dose regimen
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive ergocalciferol 20,000 unit orally per week for 6 months.
Interventions
Participants in both groups will recieve ergocalciferol with different supplementation regimens for 6 months.
Both groups will have participants treated with maintenance hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
Both groups will be advised to receive similar hours of daily sunlight exposure time.
